The details:
My Wife died three and a half years ago. I kept custody of my stepdaughter after a LONG HARD custody battle. My twins turned four just after I left for deployment. I am deployed to somewhere that may make my children orphans and has made orphans and widows of many other military families. In their 4 years of life I have spent over half of it away from them due to military responsibilities. My wife before she passed asked me to make sure that I raise my children. Due to deployments and other absences rewuired by my careerI have not been able to keep that promise. I want to stop leaving them with others every time themilitary send me away but I am able to provide them a good secure life in the military. Outside.....well, as with all single parents the questions of health care and a home and all sorts of othre related issues become a problem. I honestly don't know if I can afford to put a good solid home over thier heads but I do think they and I have already sacrificed to

o much. My childhood home lies abandoned and in need of a bulldozer or a miracle. My children are growing up with out a mother and if I stay in the military they may grow up without a father and at best be raised by a constant string of helpful strangers as I travel the world to provide a safe home for them. How do I take this and all the other stuff that I haven't filled in to get the tv show to help.

Home makeover has specific criteria for selecting a house. First, you have to already own the property, it be less than 2000 s.f., and the work be permitable by the city.
Also, you have to have a really good story.
Sounds like you're kinda feeling sorry for yourself a bit..
Providing a home for your family isn't about the house.

Umm... I think it's as easy as sending them a tape!
Plus the military can't deploy you if there are no parental units around to take care of them. Talk to your CO.

i think your best shot is to send them a tape from wherever you are to them telling them just what you told us!
i think you have a fairly good advantage over alot of people who are here!
good luck and thanks for all that you do for us over there!
may God be with you!

You should visit their website. I'm sure they have a section there where you can apply and it'll tell you how.
